Highlights
"Mark arrived on the day and time arranged. He removed the damaged plaster board and inserted new piece, then came the hard bit matching in the aertex ceiling pattern. Which was one of the hardest to do apparently but when he had finished it was hard to see the old from the new Except it was orange plaster colour. We have yet to paint it but I am expecting it to blend in well when it is white again. A good job was done all round and at a reasonable price, Thank you Mark"
"Had the main bedroom plastered, mark did the work in two days, very reliable, really happy with the end results, mark from start to finish explained what I was getting for the cost, and happy to advise on further works for future"
"I had a outside wall built by M Strudley and have to say I was very pleased with the work done by him would use again for sure very professional"

Check the WaterSafe registerSmart checks
Before you hire a plumber
Agree the call-out fee, the hourly or fixed rate, and whether parts are charged on top — in writing — before an emergency plumber starts. Out-of-hours overcharging and 'while I'm here' add-ons are common complaints.
Be wary of a plumber who, on a first visit, says your whole system or boiler must be replaced — get a second opinion and an itemised quote (parts and labour separately) before agreeing to major work.
Gas and boiler work is a separate, regulated trade — not general plumbing. Make sure anyone working on a gas appliance is specifically registered to do gas work, and ask to see that registration before they start.
Look for consistent reviews across several named sources, not one polished profile.
Check any verified credentials, and that the business details independently check out.
